Comp crawler ultra light wheels?

[FrancoSFL]

Quick question about carbon fiber/composite comp crawler wheels. I'm headed in a comp first/scale later route on my scx10. Running CMS/TSS weights/Voodoo tires,tubes,etc. Just wondering about rims. Do comp crawlers usually run lighter rims to have less rotational mass? I'm talking about rims like Y-town and old Dlux,It's pretty clear MOA rigs have the weight balance on lock with the motors front/rear, and composite chassis, the most I see is people running knuckles weights like Dlux up front but keeping the rears with no weight. I'm guessing having a lighter but low CG truck is better than super low CG but a little heavier? Sorry if I'm rambling, comp crawling is more or less dead in my area lol.


TL;DR Why do comp crawlers use light rims/no weights?


Also , sorry if this is in the wrong question, couldn't find any other section that wasn't brand specific

Comp crawlers run light rims to keep the weight down. Glue on rims are the most popular choice because there lighter then beadlocks. Also using glue on rims, you can fit more knuckle weight.
